Replace text works not properly

[szymonPJO]

When replace text in vscode, some files are duplicated to each other. The duplicate doing after replece text

vscode 1.66.2

Also experiencing this issue in vscode v. 1.68.1.

Files are overwritten both when using find and replace and when using the Rename Symbol command. Overwritten in this context means that the contents of all files containing a match will be replaced with the contents of the file that has focus.

Luckily I've only had this happen on a handful of files at a time, as I imagine this issue could cause major problems for someone if it occurred on a large quantity.

Not sure if it has something to do with my setup, but I have disabled all other extensions to narrow down what was happening. The issue persists and is easily replicated with only this extension enabled: just use Rename Symbol or replace all for any string that appears in multiple files.

I don't think this was always an issue, so perhaps it has something to do with one of the configuration options.

I have the same problems. I think it is connected to try to format several files at the same time.

I'm also experiencing this. It renders the (otherwise very nice :)) extension not usable.

The issue (still) happening when formatOnSave is turned on, best solution I found is use format toggle and refactoring when formatOnSave is off

I have the same problem with overwritten file content when replacing text across multiple files. Sadly, this means I can no longer use this extension

I'm also affected by this issue and #16 . Disabling "Use Temp File" solved both issues for me

Just curious, is there any side-effect of disabling "Use Temp File"? Thanks in advance!
